'[He has] zero managerial or real work experience': Restaurant worker shares story of their nightmare nepo-baby new owner

There's no workplace event more heartbreaking than experiencing the sudden dissolution of a supportive and thriving workplace culture. Most workplaces that claim "they're a family" are toxic… but when you actually have a team that operates like an extended family unit, it's magical and makes working—well—tolerable, at least. 

When you're working at a place with one of these cultures, you might actually look forward to going to work so that you can see your coworkers (I know—right?). You might even look forward to the work at hand and what you stand to learn and achieve. 

This online discussion emerged around this Reddit post, shared and written by Redditor u/strangeswordfish23. They shared their experience of how a terrible nepotism-hire boss managed to run the morale of their entire workplace into the ground and destroy a thriving workplace culture. Keep viewing to see some selected screenshots of the original thread. As of the writing of this post, there have been no further updates from the author.
